In Arkansas, students are actually given a day off from school, called ‘Deer Day’, to go hunting. On a recent visit to Academy Sports and Outdoors, veteran hunters were eager to share hunting experiences and knowledge about hunting. All of them had been hunting since they were youths. All of them came from multiple generational hunting families. In other words, hunting had been part of their descendant’s heritage and traditions for as long as they could remember.
Trench Warfare World War One was a horrific event, the number of known dead sits at about eight million people. The main method of combat during the first world war, also known as the Great World War, was trench warfare. Trenches were dug mainly to protect troops, but ended up being one of the major reasons so many men died. These men had to live through miserable times, daily life was filled with horror, and death. Death was a constant companion to those serving in the line, even when they weren't under attack, many would die of disease.
About 200 Piegans, most of them either elderly or women and children, were killed by the harsh Army's Springfield rifles. The .50-70 shells, half an inch thick, terrified victims while killing children under the arms of their mothers and grandmothers. Some whom ran and tried to escape froze to death trying to walk to Fort Benton, ninety miles away because of the lack of food supplies and clothing (Gibson NP). The cavalry also burned all personal items and supplies they found in their way.
The Indians were struggling and needed food. Crazy Horse felt like he wasn’t treating his tribal member’s right. He knew how to hunt and get food. He went back to camp after the tribe surrendered. Crazy refused to be imprisoned and the Crow Creek tribal police fatally wounded Crazy Horse in the back with a bayonet.
He found a valley and a camp of Nez Perce Indians who gave him food. His stomach revolted due to the previous lack of food and he fell ill. September 22, 1805 – We arrived at the Nez Perce villages and all fell ill from the food we ate. Our stomachs cannot adjust well thanks to living on such a meager diet for so long. September 26, 1805 – We began canoe making. We have used up a lot of our goods for barter on trading with the natives for food.
John Smith said, "...one amongst the rest did kill his wife, powdered [i.e., salted] her, and had eaten part of her." ( The starving time pg.2) This shows that the colonists were so daspreat for food that they did anything to obtain it. Not only did the colonists spend most of their time looking for gold but they also had little agricultural experiance. To make things worse, the land of which they setteled on was swampy and desease infested. John Smith said, "The colonists, a group with little agricultural experience and weighted with gentry, instead found a swampy and disease-ridden site."
Professional snowboarders are the outer shell of our sport. X-Games, Olympics, Dew Tour, and many other competitions are where they lay their heads to rest. A year round occupation always searching for gold anywhere snow my lie, snowboarders will always be there Shaun White got real good real fast earning twenty six different gold medals from competitions around the world including the Olympics. The men who hold this sport together not only out perform all of the other categories but hold a standard of “first of last mentality.” They all started small and had their fun on the way to the top paying the price of defeat and misstep. Only the few who persist through the pain and injuries come out on top like Travis Rice and Shaun White.
I could see in his eyes that he was excited for me; as excited as he would have been if he had made the shot. The rest of the afternoon was spent preparing the buck, talking about the shot with family and friends. At sixteen I had accomplished this on my own; taken the necessary steps to practice out of respect for the hunt, to prevent an animal from suffering. This had been the “perfect shot,” a moment that would never be repeated except in my memories. There will be other shots that hit with the same precision, but the moment will never be the same.
Iroquois hunted deer, bear, duck and turkey. They also ate turtles, frogs, and bird eggs. They cooked everything they captured. The children like to go hunting and fishing with their fathers. Me and my best friend use to go fishing with her dad all the time the only bad thing about it was that we would get ticks.
To me it’s a past time, an adrenalin rush, as well as a way to put extra food on the table. Deer hunting is a way to get in touch with true nature; it has been a way for people to provide food for their families for hundreds of years. Also deer are magnificent creatures and it’s amazing that they can be found all over the world. The cave drawings in the Chauvet Cave show a couple of horses looking in one direction and below the horses two rhinos fighting. They might have drawn rhinos because they are powerful animals and horses because they where a way of travel.
